000 more troops to afghanistan

Obama rama’s speech last night was depressing. Although I wish there were more criticism for why there wasn’t more done during the previous presidency. And I wish there were more criticism of the Iraq effort that distracted us from our goals in Afghanistan. But those debts are stock piled and burning asunder on the foreheads of our imaginations.

If in fact the request for troops is coming from the highest powers of the armed forces, I would do my best to support war.

Yes, Obama and his administration played a little spoil the well trump card. It’s hard to demonize military effort when decisions are presented in front of our country’s future armed elite. It’s kind of like that time Bush made that victory speech May 1, 2003.

Michael Moore wrote a great open letter to the president. And while I think he’s batshit nuts, I couldn’t agree more with the majority of his letter. Here are some excerpted highlights. Read the entire thing here.

Hopefully whoever is driving the car with Obama’s bobble head bobbing around on its dashboard, will read this letter too, hear the fucking chorus of dissent and stop this madness.
